Current Events > Playing Kingdom Hearts 1 for the first time. Time to see what the hype is about.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Doesn't beat Naminé mmmmmmm <3

Donaldu is the best

On the 6th day now. This intro is long >_>
---

Finally got Sora.

What happened to Roxas tho >_> And everyone in town isn't acknowledging him (ie: Seifer won the title match instead of him)

I know what Roxas was doing was a simulation but still, I'm not entirely sure what's going on. Did he even live in a real Twilight Town beforehand?
---

Roxas was in a fake Twilight Town, so nobody in the real one is going to remember him.

I think it only feels long when you first play through it. Once you know what you're doing it's a breeze. Been replaying on Crit mode and it felt really short, even with me grinding for AP.

At this point in the game it's not meant to be clear.

It will sort of be answered later, and will be thoroughly answered in Days.

What difficulty did you choose? You should choose critical mode because it enhances the game and gameplay.

You get 50 AP from the beginning of the game and a bunch of useful abilities like two lucky strike and a finishing plus ability which allows you to use two finishers in a row.

Only real tradeoff is that you have less health. The game still isn't overly difficult and is a fun challenge on this mode.

Course you didn't beat the secret bosses of KH1...you have no chance against the data organization and the other secret bosses lol.

I've never understood people who give up on those things. Gotta keep trying and learn the fight and memorize patterns. It's fun.

Update?

I just got to the Tower now, Pete seems like a fun character. Olette is still best girl.
---

So how do forms work? I just got the valor form and looks like it's treated like it's own character. It gets its own keyblade slot, has it's own level and experience stats, it's own abilities, etc. So does it prevent base Sora from getting exp when you're in Valor form? Also, how do I get star seeker keyblade to normal Sora's equipment slot? It won't let me switch them right now >_>
---

The forms level up through various means to a maximum level of 7. As you level them up you'll unlock abilities for Sora in his base form. So Valor for example will give Sora the high jump once you level it up a bit.

Yes they all have to be equipped separately save for Wisdom and Limit which just use what you currently have on base Sora. Valor, Master, and Final are all dual wield forms and you need to manually choose the second blade on each one.

btw Valor gains exp for every hit you land on an enemy iirc

Adding to this:

Wisdom levels up by killing Heartless.
Master levels up by collecting Drive orbs.
Limit levels up by using Limits.
Final levels up by killing Nobodies.
Summons level up each time the summon gauge depletes by 1.

IIRC each has a level cap based on how many you have? Or something like that. Also, Final form is unlocked randomly whenever you use any other form in battle, after the fight with Roxas, and it lowers the chance of entering Anti form whenever it's used.
---

I loved the concept of forms but I wish they didn't make some of them so grindy.
---

Command styles >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> forms
---

Another comment about summons: In general they are a lot less useful than in KH1. However, I doubt you used summons often in KH1 anyway lol.

They are pretty fun though, aside from the first one you get.

Oh right. I forgot there were summons in 2 besides Genie and Chicken Little. God, summons were so shit in 2.
---

I'm gonna go ahead and spoil how to unlock Final form since nothing indicates to you how you're supposed to do it and how you're supposed to know. A little after arriving in the last world, trust me you'll know it, there will be an event and in Final Mix you get a keyblade after. When said event happens, you're supposed to randomly transform in to any form and one of those transformations will be Final form and from there you can select it as normal. The keyblade you get makes this WAY easier. Equip it, and there's a 50/50 chance of becoming Final or Anti.

Just got to the Mulan land. Damn, the Gummi ship levels are way better here >_>
---

Apparently they nerfed donut gummi ships.

I have no idea how I'll get S+10 ranks if I ever try to complete KH2FM.

The music in that world is fantastic in the remaster

They did? I wasn't aware of it if so. I played a few months back when they released on PS4 and used a donut ship and beat it all fairly easily. I didn't S rank +10 everything because I didn't care to but I'm sure it was still possible if I cared to.

Ah, I guess I was mistaken.

Oh damn, Megara has big titties. I don't remember that as a kid >_>

I can see where this meme came from >_>
---

This steamboat willie world is amazing lmao
---

I don't know if it was mentioned already or if you figured it out, but you get abilities you can equip to base Sora by levelling up the Drive forms, so it's worth the time to do that ASAP
---

I only have Valor so far and it stopped me from leveling it past level 3 right now.
---

Yeah the game will only let you level so far until certain story events I believe.
---

Wow, Atlantica sure is different >_> idk how I feel about this.


Ariel is still hot at least.
---

I hated the change to Atlantica, but I'm also the only person on the planet who considered KH1 Atlantica to be one of their favorite worlds, so I probably wasn't their target audience with that change.
---

Neverland was my favorite in 1. Flying around and fighting was so much fun!
---

Neverland bored me, just being stuck in wooden rooms for most of it. The boss fight was fun though. (Hook, not Phantom.)
---

Neverland is better in the future installments.
---

Was Neverland in 2? I honestly don't remember.

I liked Neverland well enough in Days though.

No. Neverland is in Days, BBS, and RE:CoM
---

Can you fly in any of them?
---

Yes

This topic made me interested to go pop in 2.5 for the first time in like 2 years. I finally finished some of the endgame content. Lingering Will actually wasn't too hard once I got the pattern down. I wasn't aware that there were three separate crowns either. The Gold one looks nice
---

The whole time I was in Agrabah, i was convinced that Iago was going to betray me >_>
---

Did you ever watch the Aladdin sequels or the TV show?

Spoilers for both of those things:
He's a good guy in those, which is what Agrabah in KH2 is loosely based off of.
---

I've never seen Aladdin 2 or 3 >_> Only the first one.
---

Man, Jasmine is so hot. Best Disney Princess.

Jasmine > Ariel > rest
---

The Aladdin sequels are the only Disney sequels worth watching tbh.

Still nowhere near as good as the original, but they're not bad films.

All other Disney sequels are pretty much shit though.

Some people also like Lion King 2 but I personally hated it.

Lion King 1 1/2 was fun though.
---

It's funny how excited Sora is to meet Santa lol
---

In the original KH2, they didn't get Christmas outfits.

Worth buying FM on that alone imo.
---

What do you think of KH2, TC?
---

Jabodie posted...

For Xmas outfits? No.

For everything else that's in FM? Yes. It feels like a whole new game compared to the vanilla.

Christmas Town also didn't have separate music in vanilla. It was really weird still hearing the Halloween music

Having now played it I really think this is an exaggeration.
